Integral Heart



This video was filmed in Netherlands at the Integral spirituality seminar led by Terry Patten. His new website - The Integral Heart - features articles, media, and links to partners. Here's an excerpt from Integral Agency-in-Communion:

"I chose the URL and identity of this website, "Integral Heart," in part to emphasize the healthy communion that is a natural expression of healthy Integral agency.

Structures of awareness always have special strengths and weaknesses. Since Integral consciousness has evolved so recently, there's no research yet that clearly identifies its tendencies towards limitations and pathologies. But most structures differentiate themselves from the previous one via a somewhat exaggerated reaction."

Check out the website.

So, no bonbons by the pool, eh?

I'm pretty tired of anything labeled "integral" these days. It's just a buzzword.

Yeah, as any other "loaded" word.
I guess that depends on who's using it, for what purpose etc. In Terry's case, it stands for the next step in defragmenting our mad postmodern - specifically spiritual - situation. AQAL is just a tad Klingonish, post-postmodern and post/modern are anything but funky, post-metaphysical is somewhat a turnoff, transpersonal has run out - have all the good qualifiers been already used by everyone else?
